Stationery for the workshop:

A0 white papers

Butter papers (A3)..bigger is better

Sticky Notes (3”x3”)

Masking Tape

Colour Markers/ Copic

Black Markers

Drawing Pens

Paper Cutter

Glue/ glue tape

PART B2: Concept Development (Structured Workshop)

Based on the new tutorial group

Appoint a group leader and/or facilitator.

Pick one of these Framework Theme:

Riverwave Enclave

Streetwise Enclave

Based on the theme, develop a conceptual framework for your group, you must put riverfront revitalisation as an important part of the framework.

List down 5 design principles for your framework with some explanation about each principle.

Identify 3 nodes located within the study area that connecting the Main Muar Landmarks to your proposed site (plus the 2 anchor nodes, in total there are 5 nodes).

Identify and draw the paths that connecting the 5 nodes (in total there are minimum of 4 paths).

In group, design the nodes and the paths according to any

brainstorming jam method⁠

The main questions that you need to concentrate are:

How can we improve/change the node/the path?

What is the suitable urban form/character for the node/path?

What are the suitable activities/events for the node/path?

What the node/path should look like? visual image of the node/path?

In group, proposed in a diagrammatic conceptual program for the proposed new riverfront and the surrounding buildings:

The main items that you need to provide are:

The site layout diagram which shows the location that you picked the new riverfront

The proposed riverfront entrance location and outlook.

The shops/facilities supporting the riverfront for the leftover ‘heritage’ blocks.

The proposed circulation diagram.

The street facades (with intervention if any).

Compile the design process in a scrapbook format using Canva/PowerPoint/Goggle Slides.

Prepare another presentation slides for the finalised design. Please refer to

Gordon Cullen’s⁠

serial vision narrative in preparing the presentation sequence.

Present the finalised design verbally.
